Raighes (which means "roots" in Sardinian language) is a two part instrumental concept album.
The first one, based around acoustic instruments, is intimate and introspective but with a strong rock
n roll attitude, the second one will be a more electric and band based.
"Whether we search for them or not, our roots exist and they keep us standing, often we hardly notice.
They are the only thing that we will never leave us, whatever route we take, they push as forward, far away, towards the
unknown, searching for new places, new souls, new sensations, but they also tie us to where our journey began.
No matter how long our journey will be, how many stops we will make, or how difficult the road we choose to travel on, a part of us will always be right there, where we come from and where it all began"
